KickassTorrents was founded in 2008 and is the most popular torrent directory in the world. Since March 2013, major UK ISPs are blocking the website. Also, Google Chrome started blocking the website in 2015 due to "unsafe" content.

How to bypass the blocking

Fortunately it is rather easy to get around this barrier. In March 2016 Kickass made it possible for users to access the website on the TOR network, which is an anonymous network that makes it hard for your ISP to block content.

KickassTorrents can now be accessed via lsuzvpko6w6hzpnn.onion on the TOR network. The link will not work with your "normal" web-browser. What you need is the so-called Tor Browser.

4. Install Linux Graphics Drivers

AMD users will experience a drop in performance because the AMD driver is not supported as of now (June 2016) in Ubuntu 16.04. So think twice before upgrading if you are playing games or performing GPU-intensive work.

1) Open Software & Updates from the Unity Dash

2) Click on the Additional Drivers tab

3) Follow on-screen instructions

5. Install a System Cleaner

BleachBit is an excellent open-source tool to keep your caches clean and perform some other essential housekeeping from time to time.
